Serbians find Jolie’s war film ‘racist’
December 14th, 2011 - 5:26 pm ICT by IANS
London, Dec 14 (IANS) Actress Angelina Jolie’s new movie “In The Country Of Blood And Honey” has been branded as being racist.
Serbians from Bosnia-Herzogovina are furious that the film shows their people raping Muslim women prisoners in the 1990s Balkan war and want the film to be banned.
“We’ll do our best to ban the film,” dailystar.co.uk quoted Branislav Dukic from the Serb Association Of War Victims as saying.
The movie revolves around a Bosnian Muslim woman during the Bosnian War of the 1990s. She falls in love with a Serbian policeman. As the Bosnian women are forced into camps, the policeman brings her to the prison that’s under his command, even though his true loyalties are tested.
